You Never Know, Petrol Pump Might Be Cheating You Right In Front Of Your Eyes

If you are an owner, of an automotive, that simple means you regularly visit petrol pumps, to help your automotive get filled with the petrol /diesel.

But do you know, that even after paying full attention to the screen where you can see the right amount of liters, that your vehicle is getting, you can still be conned by the petrol pumps.

As & when we visit petrol pumps to get fuel for our automotive, we mostly check the display of the fuel dispensing machine for the amount and the quantity of the fuel filled.

But how would you know that, petrol pumps use a remote-controlled electronic chip to dupe consumers.

Petrol pumps install a chip inside the fuel dispensing machine, which is designed to reduce the fuel output by nearly five to ten per cent.

A chip cost Rs. 3,000 which is attached to a wire, which sets the limit through a remote control, due to that on one litre of petrol machine releases only 940 ml of petrol.

According to STF (Special Task Force) of Indian Government, these chips have been sold to a number of petrol pumps in the country, which makes them earn an undue profit of around Rs 14 lakh per month; this is also the illegal profit.

Not just that, with the long term practice, petrol pumps guys have become so smart, that you will never know that you have been conned. You have no idea but you might be losing a couple of thousands each year because of this scam which probably goes on at each petrol pump.

This is how they do it,

When you ask them to fill up your tank, with petrol of Rs.1000. Petrol pump guy will only set the meter to Rs. 200, and when you will ask him that why they did that, they will pretend that they heard you asking for petrol of Rs. 200 only. And then he will act like he is resetting the meter to 0 & then to 1000, but what he actually will do is set the meter from 200 to 1000 i.e. Rs. 800.  That’s when you will be fooled, as you will only get the petrol for Rs. 800 in the amount of Rs.1000.

Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) has bought the solutions by which you can ensure your vehicle to get the exact amount of petrol you have paid for.

·         While your visit to the petrol pump, try to place your vehicle closer to the petrol machine, in order to let the pipe suspend evenly to ensure better flow.

·         Try to ensure that the quoted amount for filling the fuel is not a round figure i.e. Rs 500, Rs 1,000 or Rs 2,000. As there is the fair chance, that petrol station has already tweaked machines according to such figures. Buying fuel for Rs 575 or Rs 1075 makes it difficult for the staffers to cheat on customers.

·         Ask the petrol pump guy not to press the nozzle button while the petrol is being filled as this can slow down the flow of the fuel.

·         Always refrain from suggestions, where staffers recommend filling more fuel to make it a round figure.
